Imagine you have to spend a night locked inside a mall à la one of those campy ’80s movies. Which mall do you pick? I’d choose Westfield Southcenter, if for no other reason than its excellent food options, from dumplings at Din Tai Fung to dessert at newcomer From Milk.
This stand, across from Macy’s, sells a dozen kinds of handmade sorbet and gelato pops dunked or drizzled in chocolate and piled with toppings—a hot New York City trend that From Milk (and a few other places around town) has adopted for local audiences.
When it comes to dessert, my motto is “Go big.” So, get the mango snow milk ($8.50)—it’s like a snow cone sundae with chunks of mango, sweetened condensed milk, chocolate-dipped strawberries and the most excellent kiwi sorbet pop in the center, and bring a few friends to share it with.
Tukwila, 504 Westfield Southcenter mall.

Once inside, the outside world dissolves, the hum of traffic fades, and suddenly you’re not in Renton anymore. You’re in a dimly…

This month’s assignment: Take the pressure off.
There’s something about the end of the year that adds pressure to everything we do. Despite all the talk of holiday cheer and “merry and bright,” heightened expectations can bring a sense of weariness. We’re fretting over feasts and gatherings while working fervently to tie up loose ends—gifts, work, everything—with a pretty bow. Each month,…

How a tech-minded home cook turned years of tinkering into a chef’s knife powered by 40,000 vibrations per second.
Scott Heimendinger traces his love for knives back to college, when his dad taught him how to cook over the phone. By his junior year he had saved for his first real knife, a JA Henckels Santoku. Compared with the $9 IKEA knife he had been using, “it felt like a laser… things that used…
